Pizza Rubato Napoletana

Panuozzo alla Mortadella

Price $14

Created by: Duman and Ilaria

Description: Made with our “00” flour dough, this sandwich aims to bring back the classic mortadella sandwich and spice it up with some Rubato creation and trademarks. As always, we try to create something unique, where a mixture of flavors combine and explode in your mouth, while never compromising the quality of the ingredients we use. Despite the fact that mortadella has a strong, distinctive flavor, we balance it all out with the saltiness of pistachio and sea salt flakes, the creaminess and sweetness of stracciatella, and the spiciness of hot honey.

Ingredients: Pistachio Pesto Sauce, Mortadella, Stracciatella, Crushed Pistachio, Chili Infused Honey, Sea Salt Flakes, Olive Oil. All wrapped in our fresh dough made with only the finest “00” flour from Italy.
Available: all the time
